MacGourmet Deluxe

Digital recipe management — for everyone.

Going digital is firmly set as a part of your life. You create digital records of receipts and documents. Bills and invoices are emailed. You pay them electronically. You communicate to friends and family through social media venues – and it’s all done from the convenience of your Mac.

So why are you still using a recipe box with tattered and food stained recipes cards?

We know why. They are, you know, sentimental. We get that, but when you go digital with your recipes, the possibilities of what you can do are almost endless.

We’ve got the solution.

Make notes about wine, beer, and cheese — like pairings, for example. You’ve got a Pinot Noir in your wine rack, should you pair it with Colby or Cheddar – or both? Is there a beer that goes well with apple pie?

Add new cuisine categories — is that special Italian dish Tuscan or Sicilian?

“I started using MacGourmet Deluxe in April for our iMac. First, you made transferring all my recipes from my old Mastercook program extremely easy. Now, I have added a MacBook Air to the family, and by using the cloud syncing capability I now have all my recipes on both devices. I have had great customer service experience from Mariner as well. You have a great product and good people working for you.”

“…I just want to say how much I love this program. I use it for my business and personally to create meal plans, organize recipes, I love that it syncs to my calendar…”

“I’ve been a MacGourmet user since it first launched–since version 1. Love it! Have begged family and friends to get it…I am a self-taught gourmet cook; I cook as a passion. My real job is professor, and I am currently semi-retired, and therefore able to devote more time to converting paper recipes to my MacGourmet…”

“As an Executive Chef and business owner, I need to be organized and able to view and use a recipe at any moment. MacGourmet Deluxe does all this for me – and more. One of my favorite features is the ability to send attractive looking pdf recipe files to guests and magazines. Love the product and love the folks at Mariner.”

“Works like a champ now and I think the cloud is AWESOME. I have a few computers, iPhone, and an iPad and the cloud will make things so much easier. “

MacGourmet Rocks!!!! I WAS a many years user of Master Cook on PC, used Handy Cookbook on Mac/iOS devices. Converted to Apple a couple of years ago and am really enjoying what I can now do with my Mac’s, iPod 4 and iPhone 4. Computing is now fun again. I’m trying to move as far away, as fast as I can from VMware / Fusion / XP.

It’s like three mini apps within the app!

MacGourmet Deluxe has three integrated plugins (think of a plugin as a small product with the main product performing a big feature), as well as the ability to sync between the app and Gourmet for iOS. What are the three plugins?

1.) The Nutrition feature: Tied into the USDA Nutritional Database, and based on the number of servings, you can know the caloric and nutritional values of all your recipes. From the amount of Vitamin A to how much sodium. If there’s a food not listed, you can easily add it. 2.) The Cookbook Builder feature: Take all your recipes and create your own cookbook. Add text, image, and divider pages. A template for a table of contents is included. Everything you need to make your creations immortal, MacGourmet Deluxe will create a PDF you can send to your favorite printing resource. 3.) The Mealplan feature: Create plans for any meal – breakfast, brunch, or add your own. Maybe it’s your annual family reunion – MacGourmet Deluxe will help you plan the meals from start to finish.
